Looks like an attempt to cancel a Trump rally with sign ups for over 1,000,000 people.

When Trump campaign officials scheduled a rally in Tulsa, Okla., on June 19, they sent what looked like a signal of approval to white supremacists. For June 19 is Juneteenth, a day celebrated by African-Americans to mark the end of slavery

It’s now being claimed that the Trump campaign didn’t understand the date’s significance, but I don’t believe that for a minute. President Trump did, grudgingly, push the rally back one day, but that was surely because he and his inner circle were surprised by the strength of the backlash — just as they’ve been surprised by public support for the Black Lives Matter protests.
But let’s talk about Tulsa and how it fits into the broader story of racism in America.
Joe Biden has declared that slavery is America’s “original sin.” He’s right, of course

Paul Krugman can get fricked. He wouldn’t know a good economy if it fricked him in his arse.

They'll be canceling attendees photographed at his rallies soon.

I would wager that almost no white people know what Juneteenth is and only a slightly larger percentage of black people. I literally only heard of it a couple of years ago, and I'm closer to 60 than I like to admit.

Nothing is cancelling that rally it’s all a precursor to demonize it before it takes place.

This. Born and raised in the south and I'd never heard of it until Trump scheduled a rally.
